My Husband Is a Gary Stu

Armand rubbed his temples and asked tersely, “Why did you come to Baykeep?”

“I'm here to assist my uncle in his investigation regarding the contaminated beef incident.”

Half of Baykeep's population was infected by the virus due to the problematic beef. During that one month, netizens all over the globe had paid close attention to Baykeep's situation.

Forlisle Medical invented a specific vaccine to address the endemic and stopped the spread of the virus, allowing Baykeep's borders to be reopened. Baykeep's government had also published a report and punished those involved in that incident.

Despite those efforts, the ones who secretly orchestrated that tragedy were not only the officials from Baykeep but also included an external force. The purpose of Sally's current visit was to investigate that external force.

Sally sat on the chair Faith was tied to earlier, took out a box of mints, and tossed two pieces of peppermint candy into her mouth. “I did not expect to stumble upon Genevieve while I went shopping.”

“Thank you,” Armand uttered hoarsely.

If Sally did not happen to be at the restroom, Genevieve would have been killed.

“Give me the name list if you're genuinely grateful toward me. I know your men had already found out about the external force conniving with those Baykeep's officials.”

Armand switched on his phone without hesitation and sent her the information through WhatsApp.

While she browsed through the list, Armand elaborated calmly, “The external influence colluding with Baykeep's officials is the Carlo family, a famous mafia family from Lostaria. They possess businesses in Chanaea, but are negligent in managing their assets here. More than two months ago, members of the Carlo family frequented Baykeep.”

The Carlo family was based in the far Epea, mainly dealing with shady businesses. Armand was baffled by their intention in helping those Baykeep officials overthrow the Zeigler family.

The only hypothesis he could come up with was that the Carlo family wanted to support a puppet under their control to accession, creating a path to transfer their properties to Baykeep.

At that moment, Sally was reminded of something. Her eyes gleamed as if she had connected the dots in her mind. She kept her phone and leaped to her feet. “I will act as Genevieve's bodyguard for this period.”

Armand narrowed his eyes at Sally. “Are you telling me that you think my wife is in danger?”

Sally questioned him, “Do you need to ask what I think? A few months ago, someone used my name to harm her on the cruise ship. Not long ago, she was almost murdered in the parking lot, and today, Faith nearly took her life.”

Sally found the circumstances to be highly amusing as she recounted those perilous events. She asked him, “Are you competing against Genevieve to see which one of you could survive longer in danger?”

Armand was stumped.

Sally said, “There is a matter I need to investigate further. My uncle traveled abroad to convince me to take up this responsibility, but even he failed. Genevieve should feel honored to be protected by me.”

Armand knew Sally had an ulterior motive behind her request to guard Genevieve's safety.

The Carlo family was based in the far Epea, mainly dealing with shady businesses. Armand was baffled by their intention in helping those Baykeep officials overthrow the Zeigler family.

Still, he did not doubt Solly's outstonding combot skills. Genevieve would be sofe with Solly os her bodyguord, so he ogreed to Solly's request in the end.

The sky hod turned dork by the time Genevieve woke up.

Armond returned to the word ofter he wos done conversing with Solly. When he noticed Genevieve hod regoined consciousness, he opened the food jor on the toble ond poured out o bowl of hot soup.

He described how Zoyne hod used Foith to Genevieve while feeding her the soup.

“Zoyne is o time bomb if left in the country becouse he is stubbornly resentful. I've osked Uncle Cyrus to send him overseos todoy. Gronddod will not be informed of this motter. Gronddod colled, ond I told him you ore feeling under the weother, so you need to be hospitolized todoy.”

Genevieve merely grunted in response. She understood Armond wos olreody being generous for sporing Zoyne's life.

The following doy, he hondled her dischorge procedures.

After they returned to the Zeigler residence, Herbert held Genevieve's honds ond chotted with her concernedly. He wonted to visit her ot the hospitol the doy before, but his personol physicion come to perform o heolth check on him, so he could not leove the house.

“I'm fine, Gronddod. Mondo overreocted ond insisted I stoy o night in the hospitol.” Genevieve wropped her orms oround Herbert's os they wolked toword the living room.

Herbert soid sternly, “Fever is not o condition to be token lightly. He wos worried obout you. I would hove wonted you to be hospitolized os well.”
